ARMENPAC CO-HOSTS MAJOR FUNDRAISER IN SUPPORT OF CONGRESSMAN PALLONE'S
BID FOR U.S. SENATE
Irving, TX - ARMENPAC and the Armenian Friends of Frank Pallone
recently gathered in support of Congressman Frank Pallone's (D-NJ)
bid for United States Senate. Over 90 members of the local community
and various Armenian organizations attended the event at the home
of AGBU President Berge and Vera Setrakian. "ARMENPAC thanks the
Setrakians' for their gracious hospitality, as well as everyone
else in attendance for supporting our continuous effort to rally
all members of the Armenian community behind Congressman Pallone,"
said ARMENPAC Co-Chair Annie Totah.
Congressman Frank Pallone is the founder and Co-Chair of the
Congressional Caucus on Armenian Issues in the United States House
of Representatives. He is a staunch supporter of Armenian-American
issues and has led countless efforts towards Genocide Recognition,
ensuring foreign aid to Armenia, finding equitable and lasting
peace in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and, maintaining military
parity between our homeland and Azerbaijan. Congressman Pallone's
advocacy has been critical in strengthening U.S.-Armenia relations,
and ARMENPAC is grateful for his leadership.
Congressman Frank Pallone has been campaigning for United States
Senator Jon Corzine (D-NJ), who is favored to win the New Jersey
Gubernatorial election in November 2005. As Governor, Jon Corzine will
appoint his successor in the United States Senate for the remaining
year of his 6-year term. ARMENPAC hopes that Congressman Pallone
will be appointed to the United States Senate, and is working hard in
support of his candidacy. "It is crucial that all Armenian-Americans
ban together in support of Congressman Pallone's bid, not just because
we are losing a great supporter of our issues in the Senate with the
upcoming retirement of Paul Sarbanes (D-MD), but because we must be
loyal to Congressman Pallone, who has been a loyal advocate of our
issues throughout his 16-year career in Congress," said ARMENPAC
Co-Chair Annie Totah. AGBU President Berge Setrakian added that
"Congressman Pallone is an effective leader, having successfully
championed several initiatives that safeguard the interests of Armenia
and Artsak, and will benefit our community greatly as a member of
the Senate."
Congressman Frank Pallone expressed his sincere appreciation for
our community's generous support thus far, but stressed that "more
must be done." Congressman Pallone must raise at least an additional
$200,000 before the Federal Election Commission's next filing deadline
in order to remain competitive in his bid for the United States Senate.
"Armenian-Americans must do all that we can in support of Congressman
Pallone, whose successful bid will ultimately benefit all Armenians
by increasing the efficacy of our lobbying efforts in Washington,
D.C.," said ARMENPAC Co-Chair Annie Totah.
ARMENPAC supports Congressman Frank Pallone's bid for the United
States Senate given his distinguished leadership and advocacy for
Armenian-American interests in Congress. Congressman Pallone is a
steadfast friend of all Armenians, and will more effectively be able
to advance the concerns of our community as a member of the Senate.
If you would like to make a contribution in support of Congressman
Pallone's campaign, please contact ARMENPAC Co-Chair Annie Totah
at 301-365-2277 or ARMENPAC Executive Director Jason P. Capizzi
at 201-906-4150.

established to shape public policy by raising awareness of,
and advocating for, Armenian-American issues. ARMENPAC provides

action committees and organizations that actively support issues of
